Re: [IRCA] First Report from April 2018 Kona TP DXPedition

[Gary DeBock <d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Craig,

All of your Kona, Hawaii DXpedition-related posts were received here (including the MP3 links), but it seems like the MP3 links didn't show up on your IRCA post.

For those who would like hear a sample of Craig's thrilling Pacific island DX in Kona, the links are pasted below. Once again, great job, Craig!

Here are your recordings, as posted online:
621-Tuvalu An excellent recording, with island music at a good level https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/z3as4h4cexkg6ospxfqpe1map6iedljc
1017-A3Z The fast-talking DU English station under Tonga is most likely 2KY, an Australian horse racing station https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/rxiqpy3s1ri4jl852een5ptpgp4h8xkj
1098-V7AB Excellent island music at a strong level, with Newstalk ZB making things interesting in the beginning https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/l1dd7uapi84lyso0vo487lytdw1xgbgb
1224-TAB Trackside Another excellent recording. I've chosen the strongest part (near the end) of the 2 kW Kiwi station https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/eiluwxynqiypwtpz7h6ke8dcai1fhtbr
1386-Tarana Good strength recording (I've chosen the strongest part, near the end) https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/apyk5qt7201yecoiuhdrrvnv623i4c4s
1440-Kiribati Great recording, with lots of speech from the usual female announcer and island music at the end

The condominium complex was selected due to the availability of a series of picnic tables sited about 50 ft. from the shore. Below is a photo of my "Frequent Flyer" Turbocharged Tecsun PL-380 and 5 inch FSL generously provided by Gary DeBock. These two pieces of equipment are clear difference makers. I DXed both in the evening and in the early morning.
